Our Little Entrepreneur

When this kid gets an idea in his head there is no stopping him!!  All day today he was talking about money....blah, blah, blah. Then he decided that he needed to earn so money. So I gave him a list of things he could do for me to earn some, but he told me "Mom, I don't want to get dollars from YOU, I want them from other people!"
Then he disappeared for awhile and asked me how to write $1. Then he got the card table and decided he was going to make a lemonade stand. Remember, it was pouring down rain at this time. So I did my best to put him off, but by 4:30 the weather had cleared and he had set up shop at the end of the driveway!  The end result was $3!!!

Ice Skating 2011

Over the holiday weekend Sherrie and Jamie took the kids ice skating. Sherrie's ankle still isn't at 100% after her fall in November so she just got to help Grant.

Where we have been

This is Sherrie's sister Debbie I have taken over her blog to help her get updated.

As many of you have heard Tuesday January 11th my mom she suffered a massive stroke. She had been in Arizona with my family and it happened in the Sacramento airport right after she landed.

After starting out at UDC Med Center (where she received excellent care in a timely manner), she was transferred to Kaiser South, and then a Kaiser Rehabilitation center in Vallejo.

In the beginning she had complete paralysis of her left side, including trouble swallowing and vision impairment. . Sherrie has spent more hours than I can count down in Vallejo with Mom and helping to get the house ready for her to come home. Blogging has not even been on her radar.

After a month in Rehab she was released to come home on Thursday and is doing well, but still has a long way to go. But it will be really nice to have her closer.

We have put together a blog to keep everyone updated on what has been going on and will continue to up it regularly, it is:

Sherrie wanted me to thank everyone who has brought in meals, picked up kids,and helped in any way. Hopefully now that mom is home things will fall into a routine soon and Sherrie will be back soon blogging herself.
